During a Sunday meeting with heads of ministerial committees, Syrian Prime Minister Imad Khamis reaffirmed the government's commitment to the rehabilitation of recaptured territories, providing civilians with necessary services as well as setting up investment and development plans, the SANA news agency reported.

Khamis said that the country was strong enough to reconstruct what has been destroyed as a result of the ongoing war in the country, local media reported.

Participants of the meeting also discussed measures aimed at supporting investors ready to develop economic and social projects.

Meantime, the restoration of liberated areas and cities in Syria has been launched, local media has reported. Earlier this year, Russian Chechen Republic's Akhmad Kadyrov Fund began restoring unique historical landmarks in the country along with providing facilities for orphans and children affected by the war.
